It means boss Neal Ardley has a virtually a fully fit squad to choose from with only Jack Smith and Andy Frampton currently out injured.

Ardley told the club's website: “Dannie was struggling to sprint in the second-half with pain in his gluteal muscles holding him back.

"Normally Dannie is running around like an 18-year-old with bundles of energy. It was getting to be a tough game at that point in the second-half and I felt it was the right thing to bring him off before he got himself injured.”

He added: “You look at where the goals are going to come from and the creative part of your squad in the summer.

“We worked very hard with George and said to him ‘this is the sort of player you are going to be’.

"I never scored bundles of goals as a player myself, but people knew that when I got half a chance I would try and deliver quality into the box. That’s what George can do and he did it brilliantly last week on three occasions.”
